Bookworms have voracious appetites

Sada's done pretty good at keeping her reading down to normal human levels (not her average 4-5 hours each day). That is, she was doing great until today. Over the past few days, Sada and Alexis have both been reading "Little House in the Big Woods." Same book, different hyperbaric sessions. Then before bed last night, I dug up another copy of "Little House on the Prarie," being nice and thinking they could each keep track of their own. Then this morning happened. That's when they realized they were both starting the same book at the same time. If Sada reads at the speed of light, Alexis is the speed of sound. But Alexis reads when you least expect her to and passes Sada up regularly. They both read the Little House books in Kindergarten and 1st Grade, but hardly remember anything about them after watching too many Little House reruns on PBS. I'm guessing Alexis will start (or already has started) another book soon so Sada will obviously finish faster and Alexis can enjoy Laura's literary adventures without having to race.
